WHAT EYES ARE SAID TO SHOW.

Generally speaking, blue eyes signify con-
stancy and devotion to friends.
Black eyes denote as a rule a sensuous
character and an inconstant, tickle DISPOSE
ton. However, there are some noted excep-
tons to this rule.
The main characteristics of the violet eve,
which is called the woman's eye are affec-
ton and purity, chivalric belief and limited
or deficient intellectually.
Gray eyes are the most expressive of all
eyes and denote strong qualities of mind and
soul Persons with gray eyes usually have q
great deal Of patriotism.
Self satisfaction and conceit are commonly
the characteristic traits represented by the
green eye. When the tinge verges on yellow
ishness it denotes that the possessor is gifted
with strong powers of imagination.
The very light blue eye is characteristic of
the northern races and in a woman il sug-
gests constancy and truth, steadfas tness, sim
plicity, courage and purpose. In a man it
is apt to denote phlegmatic disposition.
Brown eyes are the eyes of the south and
east and denote as general rule passion and
lack Of originality. In women they mean
jealousy and cruelty very often, and in men
courage, superstition and mild recklessness.
Blue eyes usually go with light hair, but
when they go with dark hair and complexion
there is coupled with the affectionate quail
ties tendency to deceive, stimulated by an
ambition for conquest and leading to the
qualification Of admiration

Jolly Old Joker.

Our jovial ancestors in England had
merry, conceited jests, wags that they
were. One of these tests was the frog
mug, or, as it is called in the North,
the "puddock mug" Deep in the hol-
low of a beer-mug, more or less highly
decorated outside, the efigy Of g. frog
or toad. modelled to the size and tint
ed to the color OF life, was to be seen.
The mug, filed with humming ale, was
presented to a victim, who deeply
drank; when reluctantly he withdrew
his lips to draw the usual deep breath
of satisfaction, and gazed into the
mug to see what further delight was in
store, he saw the hideous reptile
head peering up at him and the body
as If in the act to leap. The mugs
were made very strong, so that when
the frightened victim dropped them to
the floor they should not break and
interrupt the 10y of the jokers.

EcOnomiZing Heat.

Coal is advancing in price, and it be-
hooves all who purchase fuel to make
it go as far as possible. There is
much difference in stoves IL this re-
spect, some burning coal to ashes,
with little waste. A coal sitter to
save cinders is an important item in
household economy. Quite as inn
portant as this is banking around
cellar walls, and stopping crevices
above the basement. BY these means
heat may be kept in, though it is not
safe to do this at the expense of thor
ough ventilation. Many farmhouses,
built q few years ago, in flush times
for money, are larger than their own
ers now wish they were. Itcosts too
much to warm them, aside from the
debts too often incurred in their con-
StructiOn.

Still Mothers Boy.

Do you think I've forgotten the day
carried him at my breast?
Many fair children I've loved since thin,
But think that loved him best.
For he was our firstborn child, John,
And have not the heart nor will
To love him less; whatever may come
He'smy boy still
I remember when he was a little lad,
How he used to climb on my knee;
How proud we were of his beauty,
Of his wit and mimicry.
And know quite well he's man now,
With wild and stubborn will;
But whatever he is to you. John,
He's my boy still
He was Just like sunshine about the house
In the days of his happy youth;
You know we said with all his faults
He had courage and love and truth.
And, though he has wandered far away,
I'd rather you'd say no i'll;
He is sure to come back to his mother,
He's my DO. still
know there was never kinder heart
And / can remember to-day
How often he went with me apart
And knelt at my knee to pray.
And the man will do as the boy did,
Sooner or later he will
The Bible is warrant for that-so
He's my boy still
A mother can feel where she can't see,
She is wiser than any sage;
My boy was trained in the good old way;
[ shall certainly get my wage.
And though he has wandered far away,
And followed his Maynard will,
I know whatever, wherever he is,
He's my boy still

Leaving Parsnips to Freeze.

It is q mistake to harvest parsnips
too early. This is crop which
slight freezing decidedly improves in
quality, taking off q rank taste which
roots grown on rich ground often
have. Parsnips are often left in the
ground all winter without being in
iured; but they must be got out very
early in the spring, as after new
growth begins the root becomes
strong to taste, and even poisonous.
After one or two frosts, enough
should be got in the cellar to last
through the winter, when those left in
the garden cannon be dug. 1t is nee
essary to cover them well with soil,
to prevent the roots from drying up,
or the top from sprouting on account
Of too high temperature.

The Life of a Chinese Farmer.

A husbandman sows and reaps his
grain, and il it be an average crop he
has just enough to support his family
and dependents on till the next har-
vest. IL it fall short he and they have
to starve or live on roots and weeds,
for supplies of food he cannot obtain
from elsewhere; If it be abundant the
surplus is rather an impediment to
him than otherwise. He has not the
means of storing or preserving it.,
and the want of roads prevents him
from selling it TO those who need it..
Absolutely he has no market for his
surplus; Tor his immediate neighbors
have, like himself, g. superfuity, and
the carriage to any district in need of
1t would more than absorb the entire
value OF what ne has to offer. A pa
ternal government besides forbids
him to export it, SO, as a matter of
fact, the industrial check to over pop
ulation is removed, and his family
and dependents increase till they eat
up themselves the entire produce.
Now, such state OF things cannot
endure forever; the time of trouble
comes; his crops fail or floods destroy
thegrowinggr grain; he has no alternative
but either to die of famine or become
an outcast or freebooter. Money
he has none, for he has had no oppor.

had it, and now, when the time OF
trouble comes, he succumbs to the
